And what have you done with Cass?

They didn't happen to mention any lottery numbers in passing, did they?

Nope. But they also wouldn't meet my eyes.

I imagine the three of us got drunk at some F2F and decided we needed to go back to Seattle prevent Microsoft from happening.

But but but! My day job! It's not that I love it here, but no dress code AND a good paycheck are a hard combo to find.

I did say we were probably drunk. Not much with the thinking about consequences, ya know?

And what have you done with Cass?

Who? I just checked the user list, and can't find any such user name.

I'm sure in the course of skipping and skimming, I missed when this was posted:

Jonathan Coulton's "All We Want to Do is Eat Your Brains"

Heya Tom, it’s Bob from the office down the hall

Good to see you buddy, how’ve you been?

Thing have been OK for me except that I’m a zombie now

I really wish you’d let us in

I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand

Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand

But here’s an FYI: you’re all gonna die screaming

All we want to do is eat your brains

We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes

All we want to do is eat your brains

We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:

If you open up the doors

We’ll all come inside and eat your brains

Actually, it's "Re: Your Brains" but as you said. I've previously YSI'd it for friends in my LJ.

There is no day so bad that it cannot be improved by judicious playing of Re: Your Brains.

An update on the mail situation: no, it wasn't stolen. The post office just entirely failed to redeliver it, despite the clear instructions on the printout that said to deliver it at the end of the hold period.

I had to leave the office 90 minutes early for this?

Good news on the no mail theft! Sadly, I never really trust USPS to do what they say they will when it comes to holding or forwarding my mail. It's never worked well in the past.

Glad it was something harmless, if stupid.

So I just learned it was probably good I left my car at the train station last weekend while I was gone. A bunch of cars got defaced with spray paint in the apartment parking lot. Now, mine is black, so would have been less of a temptation than say, the red mercedes or cream PT cruiser (paint was black.) But still. I suspect it is a bunch of teenagers I've heard and seen some nights (the defacement was pretty juvenile, even by spray can bandit standards.) So now going to be a little more suspicious and watch them carefully. And free with the 911. Sigh.

Consuela, it took me weeks to get my mail after I put it on hold for last year's Kenya trip. I was amazed at the hoops I had to jump through to get my stuff.

You're doing okay.

Sara, totally call the cops on the punks.

I don't know if I've ever called 911 for anything other than a car/pedestrian collision.

I've called 911 on two dvs, random fire by the tracks, reeling altered guy...Sadly, I'm familiar with the gig. I'm that neighbor. I've always heard stories of people getting put on hold or in a queue, but I've never had that happen. Just good natured operators. And cops who after dealing with whatever, check on me. I understand they do that because I'm the complainer of record, but it is kind of reassuring. Except when I want to go to bed and I have to wait for them.
